Melting glaciers can be a danger to society. The melting of glaciers means that the sea level would rise. This could put some current sea-level cities underwater, causing damages and forcing people to find higher ground.

How do humans affect the cryosphere?

Humans affect the cryosphere (polar ice caps, glaciers, and permafrost) through activities that contribute to global warming, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This leads to melting ice, rising sea levels, and changes in weather patterns. Industrial activities also release pollutants that can accelerate the melting of glaciers and ice sheets.
